— (1) Mr Andrews was admitted to Milton — Hospital on 31% March 2014 following a fall. (2) Following detailed discussion wit Mr Andrews was discharged from hospital. (3) Mr Andrews was insistent that he wanted to be discharged. (4) (RJ agreed reluctantly, but decided that a discharge would be in Mr Andrews best interest given his insistence upon leaving and returning home, plus his unwillingness to remain in Milton Keynes Hospital. (5) Upon discharge the plan agreed with EEE was to implement a care package to assist Mr Andrews at home. (6) On the day of discharge Mr Andrews family were not advised of his discharge. As a result, Mr Andrews arrived home by ambulance alone, the heating was not on and there were no groceries. Importantly the family were not present to give any physical assistance. (7) Formal care arrangements were not arranged until 258 days later (Monday). It was too late, as Mr Andrews had fallen when home alone on the first day and was found on the floor by his son, who happened to phone his father, to be told he was at home. (8) Discharge arrangements for frail, vulnerable patients must ensure that patients can only be sent home if there is appropriate care in place at home to meet their needs.
